Brief Description of Research Interest :
Dr. Jyot Antani is a scientist at Yale University. He finished his PhD at Texas A&M
University, working on how bacteria sense and respond to their surroundings. Currently, he develops microscopic tools to measure interactions between bacterial cells and viruses that infect them. This research will help doctors fight antibiotic-resistant infections using "phage therapy" - treating patients with bacteria-killing viruses. Every summer, Dr. Antani also serves as a research facilitator at an advanced microscopy course at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA (USA). When he's not in the laboratory, you might find him hiking in the mountains, relaxing at the beach, or getting lost in science fiction and fantasy novels.
